purpose of making a display of fruits,
flowers and farm products, hoping there

to feel himself by duty bound to aid this
noble cause by beginning without delay
to arrange a collection of such crops and
specimens as may be especially desirable
for exhibition.
We are situated i'll great, growing and
fertile district, capable of producing the
most valuable fruits, vegetables and grains
of the world.
